At a time when the effects of climate change are also becoming increasingly noticeable in Germany and we all know that we need to take action, local authorities are implementing concrete and effective measures to protect our planet. Decisions are made here every day that have a direct impact on energy consumption, the organization of mobility, environmental pollution and the quality of life of citizens. The municipal level can therefore initiate sustainable changes in areas such as urban planning, transportation, energy supply, waste management and green space design in order to maintain equal living conditions in society. It is often difficult to navigate this complex web and find the right information to select and implement climate protection measures. In addition, financial and human resources are often limited. Our concept helps local authorities to achieve their own climate protection goals as efficiently and effectively as possible.
